ABSTRACT:
A system and method for locating the present location of a mobile station and sending consumer information to the mobile station sorted based on distance between the establishments represented by the consumer information and the present location of the mobile station. The consumer information may be sorted so as to contain information of a certain classification or characteristic. Furthermore, the consumer information may be sorted according to user defined guidelines. The user of the mobile station may ask for a particular type of business close to the user's current location. This instant information system may match a user's location, defined preferences, and retailer's promotions to send the user instant information for goods or services.
